CSUB Well-Represented on All-Big West Teams

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Following a strong 2026 campaign during which the Cal State Bakersfield men's soccer team proved to be extremely difficult to defeat, the Roadrunners were well-represented on the All-Big West Teams, as voted on by the league's head coaches.

Before CSUB kicks off postseason play on Saturday in Utah, the `Runners will celebrate the eight men who received distinctions on Friday.

Second Team All-Big West

Among a slew of veteran leadership and talent, three senior `Runners stood out to the voters and were named Second Team All-Big West: Filip Arras, Oshea Foster, and Jesse Wangusi.

Arras ranked seventh in the conference with seven points tallied during Big West play this season. Rarely leaving the field, he played a crucial role on the Bakersfield backline while also proving to be CSUB's top offensive producer.

Foster tied Arras for goals on the season with five while his speed and athleticism made him a primary target on every scouting report. Wangusi tied for this on the team with six points on the season and made a notable impact in each match.

All-Big West Honorable Mention

A pair of `Runners were on the shortlist for All-Conference honors, receiving votes but taking home Honorable Mention nods: Justin Knighton and Joey Velasquez.

Knighton is another dangerous, athletic threat for the CSUB offense who tallied three points on the year. Velasquez was a vital part of the CSUB midfield, ranking second on the team with 1,298 minutes played and recording five points.

Big West All-Rookie Team

A trio of `Runner rookies made it on the All-Rookie Team: Lorimer Bouman, Jackson Chambers, and Josh Robinson.

Bouman represented the offensive half of this group, tying for third with six points including a pair of goals in Big West play. Chambers and Robinson helped anchor the Bakersfield defense. Chambers led the `Runners with 1,395 minutes played this season while helping the squad tally four shutouts. Robinson filled in when a veteran teammate went down with injury and proved to be a strong force on the back line, seeing the pitch for all but 47 minutes during league play.
